目的 基于TLR4/ NF-κB/ NLRP3通路探讨左归降糖舒心方含药血浆对脂多糖(LPS)诱导小鼠J774A.1巨 噬细胞损伤及焦亡的作用及机制。方法 将分化完全的J774A.1巨噬细胞随机分为空白对照组(10%空白血浆)、 模型组(10 μg·mL-1 LPS +10%空白血浆)、5%中药含药血浆组(10 μg·mL-1 LPS+5%左归降糖舒心方含药血浆)、 10%中药含药血浆组(10 μg·mL-1LPS+10%左归降糖舒心方含药血浆)。除空白对照组外,其余各组以10 μg·mL-1 LPS处理,诱导巨噬细胞炎性损伤及细胞焦亡。按照分组条件干预后,采用ELISA法检测细胞上清中肿瘤坏死 因子α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素6(IL-6)、白细胞介素1β(IL-1β)和白细胞介素18(IL-18)含量;免疫荧光法检测 细胞中 NLRP3、ASC 蛋白共表达情况;Western Blot 法检测细胞 TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 通路及焦亡相关蛋白 的表达水平。结果 与空白对照组比较,模型组J774A.1细胞上清液中的TNF-α、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-18含量均 显著升高(P < 0.01);细胞的 NLRP3、ASC 荧光强度显著增强,蛋白共表达明显上调;TLR4、p-NF-κB p65、 NLRP3、GSDMD-N、IL-1β蛋白表达显著上调(P < 0.01)。与模型组比较,5%、10%中药含药血浆组细胞上清 液中的 TNF-α、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-18 含量均显著降低(P < 0.01);细胞的 NLRP3、ASC 荧光强度均明显减弱, 蛋白共表达明显下调;TLR4、p-NF-κB p65、NLRP3、GSDMD-N、IL-1β 蛋白表达显著下调(P < 0.01)。 结论 左归降糖舒心方含药血浆能够抑制LPS诱导的J774A.1巨噬细胞损伤及炎症反应,其作用机制可能与调 控TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3炎症通路,抑制细胞焦亡及炎症因子表达有关。

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin Formula-containing plasma on LPS-induced macrophage damage and pyroptosis based on Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)/ NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway. Methods Fully differentiated J774A.1 cells were randomly divided into the blank control group(10% blank plasma),the model group(10 μg·mL-1 LPS +10% blank plasma),5%(10 μg·mL-1 LPS + 5% Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin Formula-containing plasma)and 10% (10 μg · mL-1 LPS + 10% Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin Formula-containing plasma) Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin Formula-containing plasma group. Except for the blank control group,other groups were treated with 10 μg·mL-1 LPS to induce inflammatory injury and pyroptosis of macrophage. After the intervention, ELISA was used to detect concentration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF - α), interleukin 6(IL-6), interleukin 1 beta(IL-1β)and interleukin 18(IL-18)in macrophage supernatant. The co-expression of NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)and apoptotic spot-like protein(ASC)were detected by immunofluorescence assay. The expression of TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway and pyroptosis-related proteins were detected by Western Blot. Results Compared with the blank control group, the levels of TNF - α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant of LPS-treated J774A. 1 cells significantly increased(P < 0.01). It was also found that the fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 and ASC in cells was significantly enhanced,and protein co-expression was significantly up-regulated. The protein co-expressions of TLR4, p-NF-κB p65,NLRP3,GSDMD-N and IL-1β were significantly up-regulated(P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the levels of TNF - α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant of Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin Formulacontaining plasma-treated J774A.1 cells were obviously decreased(P < 0.01). The fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 and ASC in cells was significantly reduced,and protein co-expression was significantly down-regulated. The protein coexpressions of TLR4,p-NF-κB p65,NLRP3,GSDMD-N and IL-1β were significantly down-regulated(P < 0.01). Conclusion Zuogui Jiangtang Shuxin Formula-containing plasma can suppresses LPS-induced macrophage damage and inflammatory response,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of TLR4 / NF - κB / NLRP3 signaling pathway and inhibition of cellular pyroptosis and inflammatory factor expression.
